How to Find a Co-Founder: A Guide for Startup Founders

Beau Kraft · Silicon Valley Bank Free Beginner

A calm, comprehensive overview of where co-founders come from, what to look for, and the traps to avoid, useful as a single orienting read before you dive into the tactical pieces. It reinforces that sourcing is genuinely hard because there is no single place everyone gathers, so you have to work multiple channels. Good for a founder who wants the full map in one sitting.

  • There is no single marketplace for co-founders, work several channels at once
  • Define what you need before you search, then vet for alignment and trust
  • Expect the search to take real time and many conversations
